I picked this one up several years ago at my FFL guy’s shop. It was sitting in the rack a little worn and dinged. I grabbed it up and took a closer look… walnut Stock … pre warning barrel 113 serial #. Nice old Japanese Tasco 2x7 scope. It followed me home😎
I took it apart and it was oily dirty. I don’t think the previous owner ever took it apart and cleaned it. Just added oil and kept shooting.. not that unusual.
I cleaned it up better than new and put it together. The next morning I took it out to see how it shot. I was pleasantly surprised how well it shot CCI SV. It ran like a sewing machine not a hiccup or burp.Pretty nice trigger too for a stock 1022.
I took it back apart and stripped sanded and stained the Walnut stock. Put several coats of Tung Oil on it. I kinda like the stripes on this one. I waxed the metal took off the light surface rust on the barrel. Looked real good. I shot it a few more times and I really thought it was a good shooting stock 1022.
I ended up putting it in the safe and more or less forgetting it for years.
I dug it out a few days ago to look at it again… I decided this one will go to my grandson soon. He is 9 now and is interested in shooting.
I’m going to send it to CPC before I let him know it’s his rifle.
